Disclaimer: I only own Pauline.hmm.haven't I mentioned that somewhere??
Chapter 3
Once Phoebe, Paige and Pauline had started talking, so had Leo and Piper. Only their conversation was more of a.an argument.
"How long have you known about Pauline?" Piper demanded, after she had put her one-year-old son to sleep.
"Well, um.since she was born wouldn't be a good answer, would it?" Leo replied.
"Since she was BORN?! And even then you never told us about her?!"
"Well, the Elders-"
"The Elders this, the Elders that. For once, Leo, for once, can't you just do things on what you think is right?"
"Even if it means breaking the rules? Then I don't think I can," Leo replied, his voice quiet.
"Oh, like you haven't broken the rules once?" Piper hissed.
"Piper."
"Oh, don't 'Piper' me."
"Piper, if you three had known, then.well, you would've wanted to see her right away. And that wasn't possible. Her father died in a car crash of some sort and her mother had to fight demons. We had no choice but to let Pauline live with her grandparents-her paternal ones, anyway."
"Why couldn't you have sent her to stay here, with us?" Piper replied, her voice almost a scream.
"Piper, please! I couldn't risk getting her killed by some demon. Try and understand!" Leo yelled back.
"Understand?! You expect me to understand why you kept my niece away from me for 16 years?!"
"If I had brought her here-" Leo was cut off by Piper.
"Then she would have grown up knowing she was a witch instead of living a lie!" Piper said, trying to keep her voice down as Wyatt woke up and started crying again.
She walked over to her son and sang a soft lullaby.
If either White lighter or witch had glanced towards the door, they would have seen Pauline. She turned away and started walking down, back into the living room. 'Maybe it'll be better if I just.leave,' she thought.
